As a healer, is it my job to DPS? A new perspective.

But it is! Find a group of like minded people, and/or do it when gear is higher than minimum (or now with added Echo.) So those options already exist.


And this is an MMO. You're playing it with 7 other people. Everyone ought to be relatively on the same page for how you want to tackle the content with your own group. My group cracks a lot of jokes and talks a lot unless we're super focused on fight progression.

For sure higher bar for stress but mostly its kind of enjoyable stress, being in fear of not being optimal enough isnt really necessary. Still think content is nice to have a challenge otherwise, no one would play. Not sure if it induces that much stress though certainly nothing like the harrassment or coerceon to dps when people are needing to be healed. My opinion.
I do have a casual group its much nicer not to be pressured to be optimal
